Which Bel Canto or Mac SS amp works w Mag 3.6?

Which Bel Canto amp would you recommend that can really put out the power the Mags need? Which Macintosh Solid State? Thanks. Laurence

They are based on ICEpower 1000 ASP power conversion modules. The Ref1000M should drive the 3.6 completely effortlessly with a very significant stage and realistic image. G.

W4S has amps using the same modules, though without whatever 'special' Bel Canto does. Other 'd' choices exist, too. Spectron? PSAudio....on used market. and others As for Mac? Integrated? The MA7000 is what?.....250 a side? Not in the same power league as the big 'd' stuff, but mac is mac, after all. Just an amp? The MC402 is 400x2 and bridgeable.

I just found out about them from a friend here in Santa Barbara and it turns out that he knows the people just North of here who make it. He's keen on the W4S as well. But doesn't know if it it'll work well with the Mags. Thanks again for all your help.
